Suburban Road
Thu, 27 June 2002, 09:26 amWhat: Stories from Suburban Road (by Tom Hungerford)
Who: Perth Theatre Company
Where: Playhouse, Perth, WA
When: 21 May, 2002
This was the penultimate show before they left Perth and went walkabout WA.
Simply done and an absolute delight!
Insightful, funny, sad, colourful, enthusiastic, energetic and captivating with speech, song, dance, mime, improvisation...the lot.
I loved it. The evening passed so quickly and then, it was over.
As an aside, I'm a sucker for Australian history where pioneering was just yesterday and is still visible in many places. That's why I emigrated here 13 years ago and became an Australian.
Michelle Doake, Kim de Lury, Kate Mulvany, Rohan Nichol, Toni Pearen, and Craig Williams brought South Perth (as it was) to life with Tom's memories of growing up in Suburban Road between the wars. Did you know that Mill Point Road used be called Suburban Road.
I'll bet there are loads of people who 'never got around to going' and I've met some over the last few days.
If you missed it and like travel, its worth a bit of an adventure and a trip to encompass both "The year of the outback" and the show. Country dates are:
Margaret River Cultural Centre 27th Jun
Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre 28th
Geraldton Queens Park Theatre 1st July
Carnarvon Camel Lane Theatre 3rd
Kalgoorlie Goldfields Arts Centre 6th
